it does, and works almost as well as ublock for most things, but isn't nearly as flexible.

sometimes the "law" is wrong and the public has to show the people they voted for that it is wrong through civil disobedience.

Yeah I've been saying this for years, throw all the bums out. It takes them losing power to get the message.

It seems likely they retain the whole video for a bit, but that is a huge amount of data, so then it's better to finger print and timestamp and toss the video after x days.

I mean who cares about their vulnerabilities? I'm more concerned they simply exist and attempting to put 24/7 surveillance on everyone, the whole concept is rotten. I trust the hackers more lol

yet he backs up what he says with sources, unlike Fox Talking Heads shows. He clearly has a left bias, but at least he usually has firm grounding and examples, unlike the nuts on Fox, OAN, etc

It's a news aggregator for tech and related news and discussion. I wouldn't want a highly politicized filtering of everything incoming, so you have to take the good with the bad (in your opinion)

We aren't judging individuals here, we're talking about trends and probabilies. I know a couple cops that are fine, and pretty sure aren't abusing their spouses, but that doesn't invalidate the statistics that they have more instances of abuse at a much higher rate in marriages/partnerships than the masses taken as a whole

yep it's pretty easy to scan a frame and store the info as "blue car 17:25:36 20260805 WXC7868" and toss the video info if all you want is civilian tracking.

Does chrome claim to be an OS? or are you talking about chrome os which is an OS built on top of a Linux kernel, kind of like ubuntu or redhat

This is not something I have a real issue with. Most of my privacy concerns are with my own government (the USA, Flock, various TLAs have unfettered communications access in violation of the 4th amendment, etc). I think the exchange of information should be mutual though. I don't care if they want to check me out before I enter their country, seems like a basic step. However, that info should not be shared until one gets a ticket/visa to said foreign country.

While this is good, I wish California would do it. It will never happen under a MAGA regime since the rights of corporate persons override those of real persons.

It is, but I have been suspicious of redhat since IBM bought them and feel the rugpull could come at any old time.

Ah so when the AIpocalypse finally happens and the rest of us are foraging off the lands around the fortress manors of the leftover billionaires, with their humanoid clankers, I'll be ready. My superior tendency to get roadsick quickly will possibly insure my progeny will also continue on the family line by surviving Actaea rubra consumption

right, they definitely want depopulation down to the levels their paid hacks tell them is sustainable for a compliant population, "saving the earth", and continue to lives out as gods.
